Good day! Let’s consider постанову (Resolution) of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 486 dated April 29, 2025, regarding payments for Independence Day.
1. **Essence of the law:** This Resolution defines the specific amounts of a one-time cash payment to be received by certain categories of citizens of Ukraine for Independence Day in 2025. The payment is intended for war veterans, persons covered by the Laws of Ukraine “On the Status of War Veterans, Guarantees of Their Social Protection” and “On Victims of Nazi Persecution.”
2. **Structure and main provisions:** The Resolution consists of one main clause, which establishes the amounts of payments for different categories of persons. The payment amounts are differentiated depending on the status of the person (person with a disability due to war, combatant, family member of a deceased veteran, etc.) and the disability group (for persons with disabilities). Compared to previous years, the payment amounts may change, so it is important to pay attention to the specific amounts specified in the resolution for the current year.
3. **Key provisions for use:** The most important thing is a clear definition of the categories of persons who are entitled to payment, and the corresponding amounts of payments for each category. When applying this Resolution, it is necessary to take into account the status of the person, the presence of a disability (and its group), as well as other criteria specified in the Laws of Ukraine “On the Status of War Veterans, Guarantees of Their Social Protection” and “On Victims of Nazi Persecution”. It is important to pay attention to the payment deadline – August 24, 2025.
